Calm, engaging, positive care

Pet care experience

Friends call me a dog whisperer. Probably because when I arrive at the office they go crazy nuts to come see me :) Bonding with a them is easy. I give them doses of pure 100% attention, speak to them with body language, keep their minds active, and give them positive feedback / love. Every pup has a unique personality. I love getting to know them and their uniqueness. Some need a job to focus on. Others just want companionship. If yours is high energy we'll go run! I've adopted, fostered, socialized several dogs. My buddy passed away last year. It's sad and I miss him, but the silver lining is... now I have time and space to look after your pup! My home has plenty of space to roam/explore and quiet spaces to nap. I'll probably put a blanket over your furry kid when they curl up for a snooze. I'll make sure your pet feels at ease and happy. Once they get past the initial excitement of exploring a new place I will keep them engaged and happy. After all, they will eventually start to miss you, so activity and positive interactions will keep them emotionally and physically content :)

Craig is a gentle soul who clearly cares about the animals in his care. So glad my puppy gets to spend a little time with him.

I could not have asked for anything better. Craig is an amazing human being, and dog sitter. It was my first time leaving my puppy w anyone other than family, and he went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and secure. He was extremely professional, helpful, responsive, and accommodating. Craig sent lots of updates, and Duke clearly loved spending time with him. I feel so fortunate to have found Craig, and so does Duke. 10/5 stars if I could.

Information Craig S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know what they enjoy doing and their temperment. Do they like to sleep in a quite place alone or are they a lap dog? How are they with other dogs? Are there any habits to watch out for, like chasing squirrels? Do they have any health concerns?

A typical day

Morning walks with time for sniffing and exploring. Play times throughout the day: tug, fetch, whatever they naturally love to do. Some engaging play like find a toy, which hand has the treat, maybe learn a new trick! Afternoon walk/run. Evening walk. Quiet times during the day with companionship, praise, and pets.
